    Cattleya amethystoglossa

    Hey. I know your posting is a year old, but if you are still looking for amethystoglossa coerulea, you can find three different types with Orchideen Lucke in Germany. See here: Orchideen-Lucke best wishes, volker

    Cattleya species

    Incredibly beautiful plants in this threat, but that one is very special and unique. Leslie, you say that there are mericlones. Do you know a source? I can't find them in the internet.

    Phrag. Lutz Rollke

    What a beautiful flower. And, by the way, a fantastic photo... Lutz Röllke is owner of a well known german nursery. I will ask him if he is selling this hybrid.

    Phrag. caudatum x klotzschianum culture?

    Hey Guys, from Ecuagenera I bought Phragmipedium caudatum x klotzschianum. Now the delivery has arrived. The plant is as I imagined it: Small size, narrow leaves, a lot of klotzschianum in it. As I don't know much about klotzschianum culture, I'm kindly asking for instructions! I potted it now...

    Very beautiful. Three flowers is a good count for that plant size.

    Colourful long-petalled Phrags?

    Thanks a lot for replies and special thanks to mrhappyrotter for your explanations. You show a lot of reasons for breader's lack of interest in those crossings.

    Colourful long-petalled Phrags?

    Thanks. Yes, maybe that's a reason. On the other hand, there are quite small humboldtii types available. Those I got from Ecuador are not huge, crossing them with besseae and them backcrossing it shall give moderate sized Phrags.

    Colourful long-petalled Phrags?

    Dear guys, looking for a nice red or reddish long-petalled Phrag I found out that there are hardly any suitable crossings. I only see Phrag. Super Rubies and Ruby slippers as besseae-crossings with humboldti or caudatum and Ingrid Portilla as kovachii x warszewiczianum. These three are...

    Phrag. schlimii var manzurii 'Fox Valley' (x self)

    It's cold also in Germany. We had here -18°C a few nights ago. That manzurii is so so nice. Although I don't like pink, it is one of my favorites. Mine did not bloom till now.

    Fritillaria

    Thanks, Ed. This Rareplants shop seems to have very interesting seeds. I will keep my eyes on it and will try recurva when they have it again.

    Iiiiiiii’m dreaming of a whiiiiiiiite (longifolium alba) Christmas!

    What an impressingly beautiful orchid. Is there somewhere a crossing with besseae flava? That could be interesting, some kind of a white/yellow Eric Young.
